Daktronics Inc. (Brookings, SD) designed, manufactured and installed a new LED marquee display for the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence, RI. The two-sided marquee display, with each side measuring approximately 9 x 16 ft., incorporates contrast for video images, protection from the elements and a more robust cabinet design with an improved ventilation system. With a 15mm-pixel spacing, the display can show animations and graphics, and promote upcoming events.
